Furthermore, if the external system is connected to the battery pack, power of the battery cell is discharged and supplied to an external load by the external terminal and the charger/discharger circuit.
- the battery pack may be over-discharged.
- An over-discharged battery pack can be repaired. When the over-discharged battery pack is repaired, it is necessary to accurately identify a state of the battery pack.
- the system includes a recognition unit configured to determine that a battery is in a non-use state if the battery is not in use for a period of time.
- the system also includes a detection unit configured to detect a battery voltage of the battery while the battery is in the non-use state, and an indicating unit configured to compare the battery voltage detected by the detection unit with an over-discharge reference voltage and, if the battery voltage is less than the over-discharge reference voltage, to generate an over-discharge warning signal.
- a battery pack including a battery including at least one battery cell, and a battery management unit configured to identify a non-use state of the battery if the battery is not used for a period of time.
- the battery management unit includes a recognition unit configured to determine that a battery is in a non-use state if the battery is not in use for a period of time.

- the sense resistor 600 may be provided on the HCP between the battery 100 and the connector 500 .
- the sense resistor 600 may be connected between the negative terminal B ⁇ of the battery 100 and the second pack terminal P ⁇ .
- the sense resistor 600 may be connected to the battery management unit 200 . Accordingly, the sense resistor 600 allows the battery management unit 200 to sense voltages at both ends of the sense resistor 600 and a resistance value of the sense resistor 600 , thereby identifying charging and discharging currents.
- the sense resistor 600 transmits information regarding the charging current or discharging current of the battery 100 to the battery management unit 200 .
- FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a battery management system 200 A according to an embodiment.
- the battery management unit 200 includes the battery management system 200 A.
- the battery management system 200 A includes a recognition unit 210 , a detection unit 220 , a memory unit 230 , a timer 240 and an indicating unit 250 .

- the over-discharge reference voltage may be set to a value greater than a minimum over-discharge voltage value of the battery 100 . This is for the purpose of preventing the battery pack 10 from malfunctioning or from being damaged when the voltage level of the battery 100 reaches the minimum over-discharge voltage value. In this regard, it is advantageous to recognize that the voltage of the battery 100 is near the minimum over-discharge voltage value before it reaches the minimum over-discharge voltage value.
- the over-discharge reference voltage may be set to a value greater than the minimum over-discharge voltage value of the battery 100 , that is, an over-discharge reference voltage.
